Beauparc acquire Yorkshire headquartered specialist waste company, Acumen

Beauparc has expanded its UK portfolio with the acquisition of Yorkshire headquartered specialist waste company, Acumen Waste Services. Founded in 1994, Acumen are leaders in the specialist waste management sector, providing services to over 1000 customers nationally and internationally.

Since its formation, Acumen has developed a highly reputable brand and range of services which complement their total waste management solution including treatment and transfer at their own facilities, including difficult waste management, on-site industrial services, and contracted waste collections.

As well as removing waste, Acumen’s Industrial Site Services team work on-site with some of the world’s largest petrochemical, oil and gas businesses, ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable waste processing.

For Beauparc, the deal signifies a move into the specialist waste treatment sector and reinforces the company’s drive towards delivering true in-house, total waste management services for all its customers.

Instrumental in strategic development of the business, Managing Director of Acumen, Andy Crossley commented, “We’re absolutely delighted to be joining an organisation that aligns so closely with our own values. Like Beauparc, Acumen has grown to become a leader within the specialist and difficult waste sector and we’re very proud of the brand.”

As part of this transition, longstanding board members and shareholders Leon Kirk and Jon Morris will be stepping down from the board.

However, in a joint statement, Leon and Jon commented, “We’re both very proud to have served on the board and see the growth and development of such a strong business. Becoming part of the Beauparc group will present excellent opportunities, not just for the dedicated team that work within Acumen or the fantastic array of customers but also for the industry.”

The existing senior management team will remain within the business and Managing Director, Andy Crossley and Finance Director, Kris Sutton will work alongside Beauparc’s management to develop and deliver Acumen’s specialism and service offering throughout the group.

Beauparc CEO, Brian McCabe commented, “Acumen Waste is a leading specialist waste company with a best-in-class team providing premium service offerings to a loyal customer base.”
